    Hello

    I have returned, this time I will build a simulator with 3 DOF. Will be controlled by an Thanos AVR board + a Velleman VM110 + Sabertooth Dual 12A 6V-24V. All with electric actuators. At the moment I can not buy scn type but I'm looking to get some form of actuators of these features to create a much more effective sim. Soon I will add more information.

    Well the nougat, some system theory.

    At first I was tempted has manufacturing me a 2-axis type the Frex GP but with electric motors, I really find a fairly poor movement, which itself is better than having a static system but does not convince me. This simulator I'm building will be 3 axles, which for now is the best I can ride, as the complexity of one 6-axis, is very serious and involves a very large investment. The 6-axis simulators are typical in emerging systems similuación of the F1 teams. For all this I decided to make a simple and economical, that allows me to enjoy the simulation without losing all my money in manufacturing.


    THIS IS THE SYSTEM THAT HE RULED OUT

    The prinicipal question: For this project I will use 2 different controllers, the first AVR + Hbridge plate manufactured by Thanos, this is a control board for 2 variable speed electric motors, with which I will drive 2 rear actuators my simulator, allowing the same movements as a kind frexgp. For the actuator fontal I use another plate over the VM110 Sabertooth controller this controller is intended for the front actuator and simplifying basically simulate the effects of braking and acleración along with the bumps in the road, but this is a somewhat crude explanation.

    AVR + HBRIDGE PLATE. Currently I have built and running, good hands on the video are mine and also plates

    VM110 + SABERTOOTH PLATE. I'm still waiting these two components.

    For now is all there will be more updates of my work.

    Nice job there, but I must say the 2 DOF video does not really allow for what sort of movement you can get from some decent DC motors.
    Have a look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbN8XF027lc
    As for 3 DOF, you may need to go down the path of Aldoz or FernVeilleux for a sim that can float to allow up and down movement.
    Check out there related threads.
    Cheers, David.
